Re: VM required to share infrastructure as of 2016

Planning. VM plan to do lots of things that don't materialise. We also planned to use SSE electricity infrastructure but that didn't take off either.

I rephrase what I meant, I know BT were compelled to open up their duct and pole infrastructure but has anyone actually taken them up on it? I don't know of any.

I see you avoid, for the second time, my point about co- ordination of street works.

I have no just read all 40 odd pages of the directive, and it is about as woolly as one of Russ's neighbours.

2016 will come and go, nothing will happen. Many of the clauses in the directive are already in place and are common practice in the UK. Some are used some are not.

This is no way near as game changing as you initially made out.

The co- ordination of street works, which is what I referring to in that sentence, is already law in the UK, it has been for 23 years, but it is not used, as co-ordinating utilities to lay their infrastructure together, is like trying herd cats or knit fog.

This directive will not magically change that

I rather regret posting this thread now. I perhaps naively thought people would say 'Oh cool that's not a bad idea' for the most part, with the obvious doubts.
You were certainly naive, not about the people on here, but about your expectations about this directive.
